Punch 2 Prime — Minecraft Java Mod Download

Did you know that Minecraft still has punch-to-prime TNT? Thanks to Mojang's bizarre approach to legacy support, although it's unobtainable since Beta 1.7, it's never actually been removed from Minecraft (apart from a brief period between 1.13 and 1.13.1). Punch 2 Prime is a simple one-mixin mod to set the default state of newly placed TNT back to punchable! This mod can be used purely server side, without needing to have it on connecting clients.
